REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
-15trife" is the title of a romance by Mrs.
E. D. Wallace, the anther of the play of Lit
tle Dorrit, of a series of interesting and
graphio European letters which appeared
in the columns of a contemporary, and of
other essays and sketches which have ob
tained favor with the public, but which gave
but slight indications of the peculiar talent
that has been brought to bear in the produc
tion of this her first sustained work of fiction.
"Strife" is a most peculiar and moat puzzling
story, that will be certain to attract much atten
tion, to excite discussion, and to meet with em
phatic condemnation at the bands of many
who will either be unable to place themselves
en rapport with the author or too indolent to
bend their minds to unravelling the subtle
metaphysical thread of the simple yet com
plex plot. The book is full of faults, which
are so palpable that the most superficial
reader cannot but be impressed with them,
while the beauties are frequently beneath the
surface, and require to be searched for with
some degree of diligence, but whatever may
be said of it pro or con in other respects, no
one can deny that it has the rare merit
of originality. A truly original
work of fiction is a rarity in these novel
producing days, when the press annually turns
out its thousands of volumes, in which the
joys and woes of humanity are treated in
every conceivable style. Indeed, the very
superfluity of positively good notion is an
embarrassment to a writer, and it is next to
impossible to avoid travelling over ground that
has been thoroughly explored before. Mrs.
Wallace, however, has succeeded in striking
out on a path of her own, and suoh resem
blance to previous performances that occa
sionally strike the reader in turning over the
pages of "Strife" are too faint to invalidate
in any way its claim to originality. We
warn at the outset those who may be disposed
to take up this romance, that it will not re
pay a merely superficial perusal, and that the
common run of novel-readers, who esteem
the story-teller's art only for the facilities it
affords them for dissipating ennui and killing
time agreeably, will derive but a small
amount of satisfaction from it. It must be
read carefully or not at all, and it will fre
quently be necessary to turn baok in order
to pick up a dropped thread, to read a sen
tence more than once in order to discover
its meaning and its connection with
the context, and to allow the ima
ginative 1 faculties ; full play in order
to be placed in sympathy with the finer ele
ments of the story.
It is not possible within the limits of a
newspaper article to give such a description
of "Strife" as would be satisfactory, and the
best we can do is to commend its perusal to
our readers, with the assurance that while
may of them will be pleased, many will proba
bly find themselves no nearer to a solution of
its mysteries at the end of the last chapter
than they will be at the end of the first. The
story is autobiographical, and upon the
heroine "Minnette" the author has lavished
all her skill. "Minnette" is a dreamer of
dreams, and she allows the events of her life
and her course of conduot at the most critical
moments to be influenced not merely by her
Tisions,,but by the impressions of a peculiarly
delicate and sensitive nervous organization;
The character is a puzzle in the book just as
it would be in real life, and that many per
sons will find it incomprehensible is no proof
of its want of fidelity to nature. On the
contrary, we conoeive "Minnette" to be a pe
culiarly fine and subtle psychological analysis,
and many of the strange features of the story
scarcely appear strange beoause they are bo
"much harmony with the character
of the relator. The , plot of
Strife" is not intricate, but it is somewhat
difficult to follow. The attentive reader, how
ever, will not fail to notioe that it is conducted
with much skill and that the peculiar de
nouement is quite an artistia masterpieoe.
The Bcene of the story is laid in Germany
and Italy, and Mrs. Wallace's travels in those
countries has enabled her to bring facts as
well as actual impressions to the aid of her
imagination in the descriptive passages. In
the twenty-first and several subsequent chap
ters there is an aocount of a night flight from
Sorrento, in whioh the leading personages
escape in disguise frem the officers of .the
Papal Government.that is exceedingly graphic,
and the account of the wedding of the heroine
in the twenty-seventh, and of a mutiny of
Garibaldians in the Abruzzi whioh succeeds
in the .thirty-first, are evidences of the de
scriptive abilities of the author. . The great
fault of the story is a want of definiteness in
its outlines. This comes in some degree from
tho peculiar character of the heroine and from
the fact that the narrative is autobiographic
There is no doubt, however, that "Strife"
would be more likely to find favor with the
mass of readers if its purpose were more
clearly set forth. As a very original and very
meritorious work, however, we give it a cor
dial welcome, and hope that its success will
be such as to encourage the writer to supple
ment it by other attempts in the same line.

finger. "Light" is the title of the second volume
of the series entitled "Soieuoe for the
Young," by Jacob Abbott, in course of publi
cation by Harper fc Brothers. The various
phenomena of light are described very tho
roughly, and in that interesting and popular
style for which Mr. Abbott is famous. A clear
and comprehensive account is given of the
results of modern investigation and discovery,
and the book is one that adults as well as
young people will find both interesting an 1
instructive. For sale by Claxton, Itemaea &

those for whom the book is particularly in
